Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2024·郑州质量预测)Four teenage girls from Minnesota, US. 120 hours of nonstop togetherness. No cellphones. This is not a reality show, but an adventure journey.
“It was really perfect,” said Julia Ruelle of her recent adventure to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness with three of her childhood friends. “By unplugging, we had an amazing time.”
Last year, the 16-year-old took part in an essay contest and carried off a prize. The award was a 5-day canoe and camping adventure with up to three friends. No parents or guides would be there. So Julia invited her friends Anna Wander, Madeline Wilson and Julianna Torelli.
The four Minnetonka High School juniors arrived in Ely for training the day before they began the journey. They set out the next day at 7 a.m., quickly developing a routine.
“We were done paddling by noon,” Julia said. “We ate lunch at the campsites and then it was time for hammocks(吊床), reading, making friendship bracelets(手镯) and talking.”
The girls all had experience in the outdoors before.
Anna had been to the Boundary Waters with her family. “I love how you are separated from everything in your life, especially technology, ” Anna said. Without her phone, she said, “I’m less worried about things.” Madeline, too, had been to the Boundary Waters a few years ago. “But this time, I had to paddle right and set up camp,” she said. The girls made fire and cooked meal together. No one was ever hungry or homesick, but they were nervous in the final night as they waited out a thunderstorm. They left wet sleeping bags in one tent, and squeezed into another for the night. “Every thunderstorm in the Boundary Waters feels huge,” Julia said.
On the car ride home, they were all on their phones catching up with friends. “It was a little at a loss turning my phone on,” said Anna. “Mental health can be improved so much in the Boundary Waters. It really helps to get away and reconnect with yourself.”

(2024·河南六市高三联考)It was about seven years ago. I just picked up my three-year-old daughter from the nursery. I was weighed down with shopping bags, and with my daughter’s things. We arrived at a pedestrian crossing and she pressed the button. In the distance, I heard alarms, told my daughter to wait and watched a police car approaching.
Little did I know, as the__green__man flashed, that my daughter had begun to run into the road. I watched the police car speed toward us—that’s when you sounded your horn and waved
wildly to me. My daughter was about a meter from the path of the police car, hidden from their view by your car.
I screamed her name and ran toward her. She stopped and was shocked by the rush of the police car as it sped past. She wondered why you had blown your horn, asking, “Mom, why was that woman so rude?” not realizing you had saved her life.
She wondered why I picked her up and burst into tears. My legs gave way as I reached the other side of the road. I should have followed my “wait” with a hand on her shoulder, or an explanation of why we were ignoring the green man this time, especially as I had in effect conditioned her to cross the road at the sight of the green flash.
I beat myself up for months, and still do, with flashbacks and horrible assumptions about what might have been. But for your sounding your horn, seeing what I hadn’t seen, I would have been left a mother on the other side of the road, totally broken. I apologize for putting you in that position—I can imagine that it upset you,too. You saved her life and I am so grateful.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。大约七年前,“我”的女儿过马路时没有注意到警车,幸亏一位女士按喇叭提醒,才挽救了女儿的生命。这件事让“我”至今难忘,心中充满感激。
4.What does the underlined part “the green man” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.A pedestrian. C.A traffic sign.
B.A policeman. D.A button.
C 解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句“Little did I know, as the__green__man flashed,that my daughter had begun to run into the road.”并结合常识可知,此处表示看到绿灯亮之后,“我”的女儿跑到了马路上;据此可推知,画线部分指代一种交通标志,故C项正确。A项意为“一个行人”,B项意为“一个警察”,D项意为“一个按钮”,都与语境不符。
5.Why did the woman sound her horn? A.To stop the police car. B.To show her impatience. C.To greet passing pedestrians. D.To draw the mother’s attention.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段第二、三句“I watched the police car speed toward us—that’s when you sounded your horn and waved wildly to me. My daughter was about a meter from the path of the police car, hidden from their view by your car.”可知,“我”看到警车向“我
们”疾驰而来,这时你按响了喇叭,疯狂地向“我”挥手。“我”的女儿离警车的车道大约一米远,你的车挡住了他们的视线。据此可推知,那位女士按响喇叭是为了引起这位母亲的注意,提醒她注意她女儿的安全,故D项正确。
6.What can we infer from the incident?
A.The mother didn’t regret what had happened. B.The daughter didn’t follow the traffic rules. C.The woman responded quickly and properly. D.The police drove beyond the speed limit.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段可知,当看到小女孩面临危险时,那位女士按响喇叭,并疯狂地向小女孩的母亲挥手;并结合第三段第一、二句“I screamed her name and ran toward her. She stopped and was shocked by the rush of the police car as it sped past.”可知,警车疾驰而过,“我”的女儿安然无恙;据此可推知,那位女士反应快速、正确,挽救了小女孩的生命,故C项正确。
7.How did the mother feel when taking hold of her daughter? A.Angry and shocked. B.Scared but relieved. C.Guilty and confused. D.Grateful but sad.
B 解析:推理判断题。根据第四段第一、二句“She wondered why I picked her up and burst into tears. My legs gave way as I reached the other side of the road.”可知,女儿不知道“我”为什么把她抱起来并突然大哭起来;当“我”走到路的另一边时,“我”的腿软了;结合上文可知,一位女士的提醒使“我”的女儿避免了车祸;据此可推知,抓住女儿时,这位母亲既害怕,又感到宽慰,故B项正确。
